Chris was great as always and appeared very comfortable with the central stage which was a huge relief for me. Feedback has been great.

I would like to say a huge thank you for last night, we have had fantastic feedback on Chris from the people attending the event. He was a real pleasure to deal with and very professional. He really made the night and we hope that he enjoyed the evening. More importantly he really got the attendees involved in the evening, which was our main aim. He made his material relevant to our sector, his onstage banter with some of the award presenters was also fantastic. The guests really found him approachable and I know he was very busy talking to fans after the event finished, so the time he gave for this is also very much appreciated. I cannot speak highly enough he was an absolute dream host.

Chris Barrie was generally good – in particular the way he managed to keep the audience interested and laughing throughout all 25 awards which is a tough job. He was funny during these presentations and even though he made fun of the presenters, in our opinion he didn’t cross the line or offend anyone.

We also appreciated the fact that he stayed on afterwards to mingle and take pictures with people, which went down very well. Plus he got there early to run through the script and all the names (some of which were very difficult to pronounce) as he was concerned about getting them right.

The only feedback we would add was that he didn’t really tailor his opening to the audience – knowing that it was a European awards, he could have maybe taken this into account with his jokes – not sure they went down very well as the audience wasn’t 100% English.

Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. He worked the croud immensly well in a series of short sets throughout the evening. Looking back through the event photos I found it hard not to find anything but laughing and smiling faces.

Fantastic! Chris was a delight to work with from start to finish. He worked with us on the script in advance of the night and really engaged with the audience. Quite apart from that he was a delight to work with and we can't wait to use him again.

What a star this man is! He is professional and extremely funny, he had the audience falling off their seats with laughter. He is also fab at working the room and chatting to sponsors and guests. I would strongly recommend him.
